With an area as flexible and vital as the neck, it would make sense to leave its protection to that hood portion for optimum performance.

I feel worse about him getting that plate on his face. I know he keeps going on about scars, but if a portion of it actually got blown off, that's a bit more than a "scar."

I'm not so sure its a plate, it looked to me more like some kind of heavy duty bandage.

also,m that turian shell-thing doesn't seem to go as high as that armor collar does, so Garrus might have made it through with just a messed up face.

Something interesting I learned was that apparently Quarians have a great deal of cybernetic enhancements, at least according to Harbinger.

Tali tells you in the first game that Quarians going on pilgrimage get cybernetic implants to help them fight off infection.
